Review of Vivotto

I visited the new location in the Agroparc area of Avignon. This restaurant used to be dedicated gluten free but they now serve some gluten pasta dishes. The food comes pre-prepared in jars with all ingredients listed on the lid. They’re labeled as either “with gluten” or “gluten free” and the gluten free dishes warn that they may contain traces. There are no separate colors to indicate if a dish contains gluten, only the black & white labels which looks almost identical to each other aside from a line and a word. My dining companion bought a gluten dish by mistake (luckily noticed before eating), not realizing that the restaurant is not entirely gluten free anymore.

So, because of the shared facility they’re no longer celiac safe. The person working there couldn’t elaborate on what, if any, cross-contact precautions they take, only that they couldn’t guarantee no traces. It’s good that they’re clear about possible traces and they list all ingredients but it’s disappointing that one of just 2 or 3 dedicated restaurants in the Vaucluse is no longer safe.

How confident are you that this establishment takes safety precautions against cross-contact?
